A female reader, person12345 United States +, writes (31 January 2011):

person12345 agony auntHe sounds like he has some serious jealousy/insecurity issues. He flirts with (and nearly cheats with) an ex, but gets angry at you for having friends? He needs to work on his issues before this relationship can move forward. It's unfair of him to ask you to stop having male friends in order to ease his fears. If they were texting you in the middle of the night or you were going on what could be considered dates (like going with one guy to dinner and a movie) I could see why he'd feel uneasy, but he has no right to demand you give up your male friends, especially if he flirts with other women.

It sounds like something may have happened with that other girl and he's projecting onto you. The lying about it is a big red flag. You should keep on eye on that...
